"Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one, come!For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone.The flowers appear over the earth, the time of pruning the vines has come;And the song of the dove is heard in our land.The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines,In bloom give forth their fragrance.
